Hermes Agent v0.13 “Tenacity” Release: Multi‑Agent Kanban, Persistent Goals, Session Recovery & Security UpgradesHermes Agent released v0.13, the “Tenacity” update focused on reliability so agents finish tasks instead of getting stuck, drifting, or crashing. The script highlights the team’s rapid development pace (864 commits, 588 PRs, 295 contributors in a week) and explains how to update via the terminal command “Hermes update.” Key additions include multi-agent Kanban for parallel work with heartbeat monitoring, zombie detection, automatic retries, and a hallucination gate; a /goal command to prevent objective drift (“Ralph loop”); session persistence through gateway restarts; and Checkpoints V2 for cleaner state saving with pruning and disk guardrails. It also covers security fixes (eight high-severity issues, redaction on by default, Discord permissions fix, WhatsApp rejecting strangers), new model support, video analysis, voice cloning, expanded messaging platforms, UI/plugin management improvements, self-linting file writes, no-agent cron mode, SearXNG search, new optional skills, and broader language support.00:00 Tenacity Release Overview01:08 Update Stats and Install02:03 Multi Agent Kanban02:56 Reliability Safeguards03:24 Quick Community Invite03:49 Persistent Goal Command05:11 Session Persistence06:04 Checkpoints V2 Storage06:27 Security Fixes07:33 New Models and Providers08:15 Video and Voice Tools09:02 Messaging and Dashboard09:40 Linting and Cron Mode10:34 Search Skills and Languages12:06 What It Means for You13:14 Final Call to Action13:51 Wrap Up and Thanks
